- every conception of time should
  take into account both its linear and cyclical dimensions
- a variety of time horizons
- a single
  time axis which is moving forward like an arrow
- in which pasts and futures are being recycled.
- The present is not only the
  fleeting, uncapturable moment between past and future, but also a broad horizon
  of experiences
- an
  �ultra-present� where things constantly happen
- different models of time referring
  to the present
- that have largely become detached from linearity
- technologies which facilitate temporal
  uncoupling and decentralization
- In short, the present can be considered as both the generator and
  the result of interacting cycles that have their own specific frequencies.
- Re-Writing
  the Past
  
  Long-term memory
- discrepancies between the
  reported numbers and the actually downloaded numbers
- Discussion
  
  We had three hypotheses about how
  the present of the search engines evolves over time.
- in the sense that search
  engines not only re-write the past but also forget the past
- We expected substantial erosion over time
- extremely relevant
- we
  expected that the structure of the information erodes over time, and our results
  confirmed this.
- the reorganization feeds back on the overall growth of the Web
- reconstruction from the perspective of hindsight
- The past in the internet is constantly overwritten from a
  hindsight perspective
- both search
  engines
- lose information quantitatively
- erase the
  structures entailed in the relationships between words of Web page titles

- than the updating of
  the time stamps
- more important from a social science perspective
- we are not dealing here primarily with instabilities
- systematic
  erasure of both the historical record and the structures
- in informational and
  semantic networks
- erosion of this structure is taking place
- a loss of structure in
  the word clusters
- whether this loss of structure
  may have a finite window:
- are networks of information after a longer period of
  time becoming more stable, or does the erosion of structure continue?
- We would
  expect the latter to prevail
- search
  engines AltaVista and Google systematically relocate the time
  stamps of Web documents
  - This is poor! - on 2009-07-28

  Add Sticky Note
- loss of
  information in the historical record
- information is lost not only in the quantitative sense
  of documents disappearing from the historical record, but also in the sense of
  a loss of structure in the semantic networks
- representations
- possibly leading to multiple presents
- we
  can appreciate search engines as the clocks of the internet, ticking at
  different frequencies
- complex
  interactions of the updating frequencies
- by their
  authors
- or Web masters
- frequencies with which
  these Web pages are being visited
- updating frequencies and mechanisms of the
  structures
- the extent to
  which �old� Web pages are retained
- updating frequencies of the sorting
  algorithm
- presentation mechanisms
- search engines realize the
  present as a collection of extended presents that can exist in parallel
- What does this mean in relation to
  time and temporality?
- extended present
- add the notion of fragmentation
- from a fleeting point in time
- dominance of the present
- broaden the concept of the present
- to a
  spectrum of actualities
- We are not dealing with one extended present, but with a multiplicity
  of partly conflicting presents.
- in very different
  terms
- reconstruct the pasts

MacSHAPA is a
Macintosh-based software tool for performing video
analysis and for applying a range of sequential data
analysis techniques to the results. It is distributed
free of charge to interested researchers and is
supported by researchers wishing to have a priority call
on new MacSHAPA functionality or special customisation
of MacSHAPA for research needs. Our goal is to produce
an open-source version of MacSHAPA that will be
platform-independent.
